Ethen is a utility player for his travel baseball team and the catcher for his middle school baseball team. Kelsey is a fearless goalie for the Gulf Coast United soccer club.

What made you decide to get into real estate?
I’ve always been the type of person that has wanted to help people. I have a background in the durable medical equipment field and when I transitioned out of this I still had that instinctual urge to provide help for people. Providing guidance for someone through one of their most important life decisions is a niche that I naturally fit into.

I’ve been told I have an infectious personality, if you’re in a less than perfect mood I’m the one you want to be around to bring you up. Whether it be my goofy jokes or funny shenanigans that will get into there’s always some adventure to be had. Even a simple trip to the grocery store can become a Julia child’s cooking lesson if you lean your heart into it.
